I like the thought of being the dealer instead of the player! I also like that you made reaction sprites for all the guys when they lose or win, they look cute!

How does the game fit the theme?
In this game, you are a dealer, and there's a cheater on your table, so you can't trust anyone.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Only the sprites for the cards and chips.
How many people worked on the game?2

I thought I found a bug, turns out it was just an undiagnosed Flush again.
Fun game, pleasing aesthetic. Enough juice. Good sounds. Multiple endings. Gotta admire how the trust theme was implemented as a simple memory mechanic.

Hands Made TalesI really like how you play as the dealer rather than playing as a player like how majority of card games do. I also really like the art and music and think they fit well with the vibe of the game and like the small touches added like changing the player image to a crying one when they loose or the random roaches crawling on the table. Game was fun and well made good job!

Surf'n GrannySolid card game here from a perspective I've not seen before. Usually, you're playing a player, not the dealer. It played well, looked well put together. I liked the touches like the card animations and the roaches. I think playing as the dealer instead of a player made the whole thing really stick to the theme. It's a great entry!

WashExcellent work here. I like that you made the game more about finding the cheater than "just another poker game" - very creative. First thing I did was randomly shoot someone lol.
I think the score calculations might be bugged? (unless I don't know Texas Holdem and the house is supposed to win?) but I got striked when I am pretty sure i was right. Anyway, I see that there are the hand rankings in the game, and you need the player to focus more than just the cards that are being marked to make it challenging, but I wonder if players who are not poker-savvy might get turned away?
This is a very difficult memory game. The only way I actually won was by relying on my photographic memory (taking screenshots)
Excellent work on the pixel art and the music too.

Honest Abe Cannot Be TrustedThis was super clean and polished. I had a lot of fun even though I don't know much about poker. Great work!

Going Home!I loved this game! As a poker player it was really fun both being the dealer and following along, but also trying to remember who got what hand and puzzling out who the cheater was. The game felt super polished and all the different animations and sounds were wonderful! Great work!

Super Secret Sabatoging Spy ShooterReally nice game! I caught the cheater on my first try. I didn’t really understand the rules of the card game—it was a bit hard to follow—but I understood the rules of the game itself, and they were good. Overall, great job!

Night Shift TaxiYeah, explaining the rules of a game that's already complicated and needing to also explain new rules for the game ended up being very complicated. At the end I just tried to make your role as the dealer and the best hands more clear, but I'm sure there were probably many better ways to do it. Thank you for playing!
Amazing game! Especially in just 6 days!
I don't have any recommendations to better your game as it's already very good.
Great submission for the jam :)
